Market Heat
Over the 12 months ending 2026-10-17, 10 recorded sales closed at a median of $381,950, $172 per square foot, a median 41 days on market, sellers accepting 96% of original asking (-2% versus the prior year). Homes listed or recently sold were built 1962–1976; 3 of 10 report an HOA (median $10/mo); none of the 10 geocoded homes sit in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 40 ft). At the median price and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $6,820 ($6,090 with the full homestead exemption).
Fairways Forest is an older, established pocket of Jacksonville — homes here span from 1958 to 2024, with a typical build year around 1971. That age spread does more to set price than any single feature; condition, updates, and lot carry more weight than uniform new construction would. The median sale price sits at $355,000, working out to $167.04 per square foot on a typical home of 2,310.5 square feet.
The current posture favors sellers. With just 1 active listing against 9 closings in the tracked window, months of supply sits at 1.3 — tight enough that well-priced, updated homes aren't sitting long; median days on market is 51. Prices are down 11% year over year, but that follows a run of 163% appreciation since 2012, so the pullback reads more like a cooling from an elevated base than a reversal.

🟡 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($382K) is down 2.1% from the prior 12 months ($390K) and up 146% since 2012. With about a dozen sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level realMLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending October 17.

Who Fairways Forest is best for.
Best for
- Buyers with a budget near $355,000 looking for square footage — a median of 2,310.5 sq ft — over new-build finishes.
- Buyers comfortable evaluating a home's age and condition individually, given the 1958–2024 build range.
- Long-term owner-occupants, in a community where 83.6% of homes carry a homestead exemption.
Probably not for
- Buyers who need to compare several active listings side by side — inventory here is limited to 1 listing at a time.
- Buyers wanting a newer build exclusively, since the median year built is 1971.
- Investors seeking a rental-heavy pipeline, given the high owner-occupancy share.

Fulton Cut, shared with JAXPORT and the city, is expected to finish in summer 2027 and all four projects by 2030.

The Fairways Forest buying strategy.
If we were buying in Fairways Forest today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Fairways Forest.
Fairways Forest: An Established Footprint, A Thin Market
Fairways Forest counts 494 homes, built anywhere from 1958 to 2024, with a median year built of 1971 — this is a mature, established section of Jacksonville rather than a single-phase subdivision. The typical home runs 2,310.5 square feet, and homestead exemptions are filed on 83.6% of homes, pointing to a base of owner-occupied residences rather than a heavy investor or rental presence.
On the market side, Duval County MLS data puts the median sale price at $355,000 ($167.04 per square foot), with homes moving in a median of 51 days. Inventory is exceptionally thin — just 1 active listing against 9 closings in the tracked window — which keeps months of supply at 1.3 and the market band seller-leaning. Year over year, prices are down 11%, though that's measured against a market that has climbed 163% since 2012.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Fairways Forest. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Momentum Buy Score.
Our proprietary 0 to 10 read across the factors that decide how a home in Fairways Forest buys, holds, and resells. Momentum Research; not an appraisal.
Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect. Composite is the plain average of the 4 factors (7.5). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +146% since 2012; Recent Direction -2.1% year-over-year; Owner Commitment 86% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 95.7% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
With only 1 active listing at any given time, Fairways Forest isn't a community where you can browse — you need a search already running so you see a home the moment it lists, and a broker who understands how a home built in 1958 prices differently than one built in 2024 within the same 494-home footprint. Momentum tracks Duval County MLS data at this level of detail, watching the roughly 9 closings in a window like this one to help buyers and sellers set a number that holds up against a 51-day median market time, not a guess.

What it really costs to own in Fairways Forest
The parts of the monthly number a mortgage calculator leaves out, from the tax roll, the MLS, Citizens and FEMA. Property facts only.
| Property tax | Current owners' bills run a median of $3,226/yr across 10 listings here (MLS tax records, 2026-10-18). |
|---|---|
| HOA dues | Median $120/year (about $10/month) across 99 MLS listings (most billed annually; 2026-10-15). Dues cover what the documents say they cover; ask for the budget and reserve study. |
| Home and flood insurance | The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Duval County is $1,315/yr (2,001 policies, Citizens detail by county, April 2026); private-market quotes depend on roof age, wind mitigation and construction. Flood: of 10 listing addresses checked against the FEMA flood map, 100% sit outside the high-risk zone. Statewide, a Zone X flood policy runs about $500-$700/yr and a high-risk zone $1,200-$2,500/yr (FEMA Risk Rating 2.0 averages, not quotes). |
| Roof and age | Median build year 1973 across 10 listings. An original roof here would be about 53 years old; under Florida's 2022 reform (SB 2-D) carriers may require an inspection past 15 years, so budget for a roof report, and for replacement where it fails. |
